Alright, so I'm in the process of trying every method in this generation as I'm determined to get a shiny or two, and so far I've no luck.

I've hatched a little more than 300 Phantump eggs, and I'm putting that on hold for a while so I can try this chain fishing business. It's the first I've heard of it, but I'll give it a go and post my results later on.

As for chaining with the pokeradar, I feel like a lot has changed that I just am not grasping yet. I've followed my D/P/Pt method which has netted me a handful of shinies in the past, but all I can manage to reach is a chain of about 17 or less before it breaks consistently. I've even taken other suggestions posted here such as not bothering with the patch 4 tiles away (etc. etc.) but nothing seems to work all too well.

I don't know if it's just me, but I'm having an awfully difficult time transitioning from Gen IV's Pokeradar to Gen VI's. Ugh.

Use the chain fishing, it really does work. I was able to catch 4 shiny Relicanth and 1 shiny Gyarados yesterday within 4 hours of each other.

I'd go chain fishing for a skrelp if i weren't worried I'd hook something else or get one with a nature I don't want. So I'm currently working on using Masuda Method for it. Currently am at less than 60 eggs though, lol. This is going to take a while.
